Abstract excerpt
We hypothesized that a mutation in the turkey skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor alpha isoform (alphaRYR) underlies turkey meat quality problems which are strikingly similar to pale, soft, exudative (PSE) pork. RT-PCR analysis of turkey alphaRYR mRNA covering amino acids 376 to 615 (numbered according to the human sequence) revealed at least three transcript variants. One transcript was homologous to the...
